Thank you, Clintons. If you are getting your hair done soon, you can bring in one of these pictures so that your stylist knows exactly what to expect. And if you are a stylist, you can always send people to this site so that they can look through potential hair style ideas. In addition to this article on long hairstyles for women, we also have articles that cover different medium and short styles–and styles for different age groups. Thanks again for commenting!

Excellent point, Elizabeth! Have you ever tried out hair extensions? I tried once, but it was such a pain to put them in and take them out–I felt it was easier just to grow my hair out this time. Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, did you dye your hair or style it too much in the past? I had to cut my hair last year because it was completely destroyed by constant hair coloring, styling and perms. Now, I am going for au natural or nothing! Good luck, Flora!

These photos are amazing, thank you. I have been trying to grow out my hair longer than it’s current length because I just love the look of super long hair. There is just so much that you can do with it just like this wonderful list shows.

You are absolutely right, Felicia! Although short hair is super fun, long hair does have the most styling options. Now, I just have to be as talented at styling as the celebrity hair stylists who did these styles.

Love the long hairstyles featured here. They are not dated and I love that you feature hairstyles that you can do your long hair up with, without the fussing around. The Kardashian sisters seem to have it down to a pat. Now to wait for my hair to grow!

Waiting for hair to grow seems to take forever. I always get bored and cut it too soon! I am glad to see that you are far more patient than I could ever be. Thanks for stopping by HerInterest, Suzzane. We have other articles on this site for styling short and medium hair–you can use them while you wait for your hair to get longer.

Long hair do has a way of accentuating the beauty of a ladies shoulders. Looking at Number 8, Beyoncé has always been a cutie, but her long hair do adds more grace, style and zing to her looks. The power ponytail gives it a smart look. However, this is in sharp contrast to Vanessa Hudgens long hair style. I guess it is all about different strokes for different folks.

I love this well thought out list. I have very thick and very long hair. Sadly, no one ever gets to see my gorgeous thick hair, because I wake up each morning, brush it out and pull it back into a ponytail. These unbelievably cute styles for long hair, is going to allow me to show off my hair and really be proud of it. Thanks

Beautiful ladies with equally beautiful hair. I wasn’t a fan of the “faux hawk” (just looks weird), the sectioned pony-tail (seems kind of juvenile rather than polished), and #52 & #68 are like bed heads gone wild. Lots of other great ideas here though from casual to formal.

Very nice collection, thank you. For people with very long hair, like me, it’s really diffucult to choose the perfect hairstyle.But if I have to pick one.. I honestly prefer the number 47 (Bella Thorne Long Hairstyle) because I have never tried it yet! 😉

Thank you for stopping by HerInterest, Kyle! If you enjoyed this article, we also have articles that cover styling short and medium length hair. Take a look around and see if there are any other articles that catch your eye!

All the hairstyle are nice and attractive.. I had once same hairstyle like Lana Del Rey Long Hairstyle (3) has. Actually I don’t like long hairs.. But next time if I keep long hair then I will do Kim Kardashian Long Hairstyle (1) which I like most.

Wow – I only wish my hair would look so great when grown out this long. Mine just looks so flat. Maybe I can get some extensions to be able to pull off some of these styles. I wonder how many of these celebrities use hair extensions? Either way, these styles are fabulous and I am jealous!

I think that a lot of the celebrities use hair extensions, so you would be in good company. There are also different volumizing conditioners that can help. Some ladies also take pre-natal vitamins because the vitamins are supposed to help with hair growth and shininess.

My hair is stick straight and long. Now that I’m getting older, I really need to consider adding bangs to help camouflage the forehead creases that I have. I like Kim K’s blunt bangs in #27, but I also love Ashley Tisdale’s wispy, side-swept bangs in #45. They’re both pretty, so I’ll have to ask my stylist which would be easier for me to keep up with since I’m usually running behind and prefer the lowest maintenance style as possible. I hope she choose #45!

Both bangs are adorable, but you should consider the type of face shape that you have. You can do both looks without a lot of effort, but blunt bangs and side swept bangs definitely work best with different types of faces.

I only wish my hair could grow as long as these! I especially love the styles and color of Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez. Lots of people think that the longer your hair is, the more boring or damaged it is, but if you take care of it (and have good genes!) then this length is attainable and you can create so many different styles, like this list shows!

I agree with you, Lynn–I am always too impatient and cut my hair way too early. It is great to read through your feedback. Thanks for stopping by HerInterest, and I hoped that you enjoyed some of our other articles.

This is an awesome collection of long hair styles. No doubt, your hair style says a lot about you, also giving you the opportunity to use lots of accessories. Personally speaking, I love the Kim Kardashian Long hair. It is very simple and accentuates your personality. Beyonce Long Hair Style, the Power Ponytail can be seen as a variant, that’s my second choice as I love simplicity.

You are absolutely right. People can tell a lot about how you choose to wear your hair. Although the power ponytail is one of the latest styles, there are plenty of others to choose from. It does not get much simpler, however, than the power ponytail.

I am working as a hairstylist (in fact I have started just 2 months ago) and I am glad that I’ve found this article. Most of the women that come to my hair salon have long hair and all these celebrities with their beautiful hairstyles will gave me few ideas that will work with my clients too.

One hundred hairstyles…wow this is truly amazing. I was just searching the net for a single hairstyle as I have to go for a party tonight and I bumped into your site. Your site is wonderful and you have provided me with 100 different styles for my long hair. I do not have enough words to thank you for this. I will bookmark your site and check these styles whenever I feel like changing my hairstyle.
